What is the weight difference?
I know silly question -- but I track mine -- and might be nice to just take a peak
back there and see everything is on the up and up,
rather than going to the trouble of dealing with top, cover, etc.
thx,
mike

If the cover is transparent and your engine is on fire then you have a definite advantage about doing something about it asap....

The setup weight 6.5lbs and saves close to 20lbs if you compare it to the original setup with the sound deadening carpet, original cover, and rear self.

I do still have one of these laying around in my parts if someone wants to go this route:
Painted arctic silver, passenger side has an adjustable sound port.

This is very cool. I'd love to get me one. Is there more noticeable heat from the engine?
Thanks.

Wow that's actually really good. Aside from adding an Optima battery, I don't see where you could drop that much weight. My GT3 seats probably shaved more but that required spending quiet a bit of money and weight savings wasn't the goal.
I don't have a glove box so my shelf is the only place to store things should the trunks lock me out. I keep a Cobra jump start battery there and some spare fuses. As far as sound, those speakers are not worth their weight. LOL.

Yup I'd be in for one as well. But something tells me he dropped the idea due to price. I wouldn't expect this kit to come cheap. These panel in the 1/4" thickness (genuine engineered lexan anyway) are not all that cheap :/ add the rubber seals, bolt kits, ouch.
Let's hope this comes back to life
